Our AgriCensus Price Markers (APM) are daily price assessments intended to be used as price references for negotiation, and in physical spot and term contracts, as well as the settlement price of financial derivatives.

They can also be used for the valuation of physical inventories, mark-to-market valuations of financial instruments, and the creation of associated derived data.

We also produce daily price assessments of the physical forward market, reflecting values for loading or delivery up to 9 months ahead.

AgriCensus Price Analyser

Use the price analyser to chart our prices, display as an index, create spreads and plot exchange rate movements.

Full subscribers can download the data into Excel or choose to receive a daily API Data Feed, as well as annotate and download the graph as an image.
